Chapter 4: Elimination Rounds
"Right now! Is the start of the Elimination Rounds! It will not be easy! You will be teamed up with the best of the best. You must have three wins from three teams to make it to the next round. I'm telling you now. Most of you will be sent home with the guilt on your shoulders about your planet being destroyed. The Elimination Rounds will at least last for two days. We'll start now with Earth's Team going against Traceera's Team." Moritor said to everyone. "That round will take place at field 1." He pointed over to the left to a tile floor mat that sat above ground about 2 or 3 feet.
Piccolo, Goku, Taylor, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Gohan, and Pan walked over to the mat. On the other side the Traceera's Team stood. There was on that was like a beast, maybe a tiger that walked on two legs. Next to him was a woman. She stood about half his height. He had short dark blue hair that shaped out her face. She wore a blue tunic dress that was clipped at her shoulders with gold pins. She had dark tan skin and her eyes were purple.
Next to her was a kid that looked about 12. He had dark brown hair. And his bangs hung over his left eye. His eyes were pure white. He was a tunic shirt that was tucked into his black training pants. There was another female. She stood about 5 feet tall. She looked no older 19 and she was pretty. She had dark blue eyes and lavender hair. They touched her shoulders slightly. She stood there wearing a black training suit.
Taylor tapped Goku's arm. He looked down at her as she waved him closer to her. He bent down to her height.
"There are only four of them and eight of us." She whispered. Goku glanced at them.
"Never underestimate your opponent." Goku told her as he stood upright. The referee walked toward the mat as he stepped onto it.
"Female against female, male against male, and female against female." He stated, "You may use any attacks you wish but you cannot kill your opponent." He looked over at the gang. "Pick your first female." He stated. They pondered about it. Goku looked down at Taylor.
"Do you want to go first Taylor?" he asked her. Taylor looked up at her father as she pointed to herself.
"Me?"
"No… the person next to you." Vegeta said rudely. She glared at him then back at her father.
"Okay dad…" Taylor said unsure of herself. She walked forward pulling herself up onto the tile mat. The referee looked at Taylor then over at the other team.
"Earth's Team picks Taylor Son. Who is your pick?" he asked. The woman who stood next to the beast walked forward. She hovered herself upward and onto the mat. The referee then lifted his arms into the air. "Traceera's Team chooses Dojoma." He then pulled his arms down placing his hands together. "Are both fighters ready?" he asked. Taylor got in her fighting stance as the woman known as Dojoma stood there leaned to the left with her arms crossed. "Begin!"
"Are you ready to be brought down along with your planet?" she asked Taylor. Taylor shook her head.
"No." Taylor answered. Both of them disappeared. Goku smiled. He knew that Taylor could do it.
Taylor was thrown to the ground. Taylor slid across the platform. She then jumped to her feet charging forward at Dojoma. Dojoma stood there smiling. At the last second she disappeared. Taylor's fist hit the tile sending a few pieces up.
"Over here girl." She turned around and then she was kicked in the face. Taylor was thrown to the left. Nearly falling off of the edge. Taylor then pushed herself up onto her hands. Dojoma laughed at her and she jumped up landing on her feet. "Why don't you go home back to your planet, so you can be there when it blows up." She stated. Taylor shook her head.
"No, you go back to yours." Taylor said to her. Dojoma got serious. She leveled her fists with her hips as a purple aura started to surround her. the little boy on Dojoma's team started to laugh.
"Your in for it now Human." He stated. Taylor looked at him.
"This is Dojoma's transformation." The beast stated. Taylor glanced at him then back at Dojoma. Her muscles were now more visible, her hair started to fly around as it slowly turned dark purple. Her eyes went pure white and ki started to rise. Taylor's eyes widened. What was she in for? She knew she couldn't beat her.
'I'm going to cause our first lost.' Taylor thought to herself as she looked at her father from the corner of her eye. He was worried at how much Dojoma's ki raised to. In fact, the whole gang was shocked. Taylor looked forward at Dojoma who now stood at 6 feet.
"Come and get me now." she stated with a deep monstrous voice. Taylor stepped back but she nearly fell over. She had forgotten that she was in a tournament. But she knew that she couldn't lose. "I'm going to finish you OFF!!" Dojoma lunged forward pulling back both of her fists. Taylor braced herself for the punch. She planted her feet into the tile floor and held her arms up in front of her face in an X. Dojoma threw her fists forward as they hit Taylor's forearms. Taylor's body was pushed back. The heels of her feet rested on the edge of the mat. She knew she was done for.
"Kakkarot! Your daughter is going to cause us our planet!" Vegeta shouted at Goku.
"Taylor can do it." Goku said to him, "I have faith in her."
"Look at her Kakkarot! She's losing! She's going to fall off the side of the mat and lose!" Vegeta shouted. Taylor heard every word that was going on in the group. The only one that didn't believe she could do it was herself and Vegeta. Taylor held her spot as long as she could as Dojoma continued to attack her.
"Come on Sis!" Goten shouted out cupping his hands around his mouth like a horn. "You can do it!"
"Come on Taylor!" Pan shouted, "This is an easy win!"
"Taylor come on! You can do it! She's nothing compared to what your use to!" Gohan shouted out.
"Come on Boo!" everyone cheered for her as she stood there with her forearms taking every blow from Dojoma. Soon they started to bruise a dark purple. Taylor then looked at Dojoma.
'Everyone's counting on me… I can do it!' Taylor threw her arms down breaking away Dojoma's attack. "HAAAH!!!" She leveled her fists with her hips and begun to power up. Her hair tie slipped out as her hair started to spike out and turn yellow. Her eyes went from black to teal. Her ki begun to rise at Dojoma's level maybe higher. "TAKE!!!! THIS!!! HAH!!!" Taylor threw a ki ball blasting Dojoma away toward the referee. Taylor lifted herself off of the ground and lunged forward flying toward Dojoma. She pulled back her fists as she threw them forward hitting her in the face knocking her toward her team.
"Come on Dojoma!" the little boy shouted. "You can do it!"
"This girl isn't just human!" Dojoma shouted. "She's half Saiyan!"
"You can still do it!" the beast shouted. Taylor landed in front of her. she reached down picking Dojoma up off of the floor placing her on her feet. Taylor then spun and kicked her. Dojoma raised her right hand up grabbing onto her foot. She then took her other hand grabbing onto her foot again and started to swing her around and around.
"Oh no!" Pan shouted. "She's going to throw her out of the ring!"
"Come on Taylor! You can do it!" Goku shouted out. Taylor closed her eyes tightly as Dojoma let go. Taylor hit the floor then bounced back up.
"HAH!" Dojoma launched a ki beam toward her. Taylor was hit and she hit the tile floor of the ring. Lying there face down. Goku speechless. He knew that attack was strong and could've possibly killed her but in the Elimination Rounds you weren't allowed to kill your opponent.
"One!" the Referee started counting. "Two! Three!" Pan ran up to the ring and slammed her fists on the tile floor.
"Come on Taylor!" she shouted. "You stronger then this freak! You can do it!"
"Sis! Get up! Come on!" Goten shouted behind Pan. Gohan walked up standing next to his brother watching Taylor lying there not moving at all.
"Boo! Get up!" Goku shouted.
"Come on Taylor!" Trunks shouted out. "You're not a quitter!"
"Come on." Piccolo said to himself as he stood there with his arms by his side. Vegeta stood there with his arms crossed watching Taylor closely. He looked at his team seeing them all cheer for her.
"Four! Five!" Taylor's body then started to shake as she slowly got to her feet. Dojoma's eyes widened as she watched the half saiyan get to her feet. Taylor fell forward catching herself. Pan jumped up throwing her fist in the air.
"Yes! She did it!" Pan shouted out. Goku smiled a relief smile as did everyone. Taylor stood there hunched over a little as she breathed heavy.
"That was a good attack." Taylor stated trying to keep herself standing. "Nearly killed me." She smirked. "You should've." Taylor pulled her hands to her side. "KA…ME…HA…ME…" a blue energy ball formed in between her hands pushing them away a little. Dojoma's eyes widened as she watched the half saiyan call her attack. "HAAAAAH!!!!" Taylor threw her hands forward as the Kamehameha Wave made its way toward her. Dojoma raised her hands forward holding back the attack.
"AHH!!!" Dojoma screamed from the pain in her hands as the energy attack burned. Dojoma closed her eyes tightly as the Kamehameha Wave disappeared into her body. Taylor's eyes widened as she watched the wave get sucked up into her body. Dojoma started to chuckle as her muscles bulged out a little more. "Thank you for the extra energy. I know I can finish you off now." Dojoma stated.
"Don't fail us." The other female stated as she held her arms crossed. Dojoma looked at her.
"No! You don't fail us! You the last one going up." Taylor took this as and advantage. She lunged forward hitting Dojoma in her face causing her to bruise. Dojoma's head went to the left as Taylor huffed and puffed. She then straightened her head slowly toward her. Taylor's eyes widened as Dojoma smirked showing no sign of pain. She then grabbed onto her face. Taylor kicked and grabbed onto Dojoma's wrist trying to get her to let go.
"Taylor!" Goku placed his hands onto the tile floor about to get onto it.
"Stop!" the Referee shouted out. "You'll lose automatically if you step onto the ring. Goku lowered himself as he watched Taylor continue to kick. Dojoma laughed as her grip became harder and harder.
"Just die already!" Dojoma shouted out. She then felt a sharp pain go through her hand. "Ouch!" Dojoma dropped Taylor onto the ground as she pulled her hand towards herself. Taylor quickly got to her feet. Dojoma looked at her hand to see blood. She looked up at Taylor. She then spit out some of her skin as she smirked. "You little…"
"Brat." Taylor cut in. Dojoma lunged forward.
"You'll pay for biting my like that!" Dojoma threw her fist forward. Taylor caught it. She then threw her other fist and Taylor caught that one too. Dojoma stared into Taylor's teal eyes. Her eyes flashed with anger and power for a quick moment. Taylor then gripped onto her fists causing Dojoma to fall to her knees. Taylor then kicked her face sending her backward onto the ring. Taylor walked over as a burst of energy started to surround her. Dojoma looked at Taylor. She saw the bruises she had placed onto her face when she was holding onto her. The dark purple bruises on her forearms started to swell. Taylor stood over Dojoma glaring at her. Taylor reached down grabbed onto her lifting the grown woman into the air. Taylor smiled.
"Taylor! Look out!" Goku shouted out. Taylor looked down at Dojoma's hands which were calling a powerful blast. Taylor looked up at Dojoma.
"You'll kill us both!" Taylor shouted. Dojoma smiled.
"No. Only… YOU!!!!" Dojoma launched the attack at Taylor sending her backwards. Taylor slid across the tile floor as her head rested off the edge of the ring.
"Taylor!" Goku shouted as he ran around looking down at the bruised face of Taylor. "Come on Taylor! Get up! You can do it!" Goku said to her but there was no movement. Taylor's super saiyan hair fell back into the black shoulder length hair. "Come on Taylor! You're better then this. Get up." Goku tried one more time but there was nothing out of her. her eyes stayed shut with her mouth opened a little. Dojoma walked over to Taylor about to lift her up off of the ring. Taylor's eyes opened a little and Goku lit up. She winked as she closed her eyes. Dojoma lifted Taylor off of the ring. "Taylor!" Goku shouted as Dojoma was about to launch an attack through her.
"You can't kill me." Dojoma's eyes widened. "It's against the rule in the Elimination Rounds. HAH!" Taylor kicked Dojoma in her stomach sending her out of the ring and hit the ground. The Referee turned and looked at Dojoma who laid face down in the grass.
"When I reach to ten… Earth has one the first round of the Elimination Rounds! One! Two!" Taylor fell to her knees weak as her hands rested on the cold tile floor of the ring watching the body of Dojoma do nothing. "Three! Four! Five!" Dojoma started to lift herself up off of the ground slowly and Taylor's eyes widened.
"Doesn't she ever stay down?" Pan asked as she watch Dojoma.
"Six! Seven!" Dojoma reached to her feet but she quickly fell again closing her eyes. "Eight! Nine! Ten! The first Victor! Earth's Team!"
"Yay Sis!: Goten shouted as he hopped up onto the ring running to Taylor.
"Good job Taylor!" Pan shouted as she followed Goten. Goku got up onto ring picking up his weak daughter.
"You freaked me out there for a minute." Goku said to her. Taylor smiled.
"I know. I heard." Taylor said to her.
"Traceera's Team!" the Referee shouted, "Pick your next male fighter!" the little boy stepped up onto the ring. "Traceera's Team picks Duo. Earth's Team! Pick your fighter!" Vegeta stepped up.
"I'll go and finish this!" he said as he walked passed Goku, Goten, and Pan as they hopped off the ring.
"Give it your all Vegeta." Goku stated.
"I'll give more then that!" Vegeta yelled to him. Trunks threw his fist into the air.
"Go Dad!" Trunks shouted. The Referee raised his hands into the air.
"The Second battle starts! Fighter, are you ready?" Duo and Vegeta stood there staring at each other.
"Prepare to be swiped off the floor." Vegeta stated.
"You're a very confident man." Duo said to him.
"BEGIN!"
